HULA/CHEERING A celebrated homecoming. Hundreds of families reunited today when the U-S-S Hopper pulled into port at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The guided missile destroyer and its crews of 280 sailors are back home after being deployed for 8 months. @ 14:44:08 "HAD A GREAT DEPLOYMENT. THE CREW DID A FANTASTIC JOB. WE'RE PROUD TO BE HOME. LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEEN 8 MONTHS SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE BACK HERE AT PEARL HARBOR." While away... The crew aboard the USS Hopper provided security and conducted anti-piracy operations with partner nations. And a quick highlight we want to show you from today's homecoming... A Pearl Harbor PROPOSAL... And of course, she said yes.
